Announcing Our ‘Metropolis Likes’ Winners, NeoCon Edition!

Metropolis editors hand-pick the best new products in advance of NeoCon this June.

The most exciting aspect of the NeoCon fair is that it brings together the best products available to American designers across different categories—furniture, textiles, surfaces, flooring, lighting, or technology. It makes it possible to see big ideas and trends that span different types of products and suggest new directions for how we all live and work. So for #MetropolisLikes, our biannual award program, our editors selected 33 such forward-thinking products from submissions across the breadth of the industry. Here are Metropolis’s selections of the most innovative, creative, and sustainable solutions for commercial and residential interiors.
